Monasterios lost his first game as starter, on the first game of a doubleheader Bravos-Tigres, according to the Bravos official Twitter account,MonsterCherios was retired somewhere in the third inning, after allowing 3 runs, however the Bravos defense didn't make a couple of double plays in the second inning (Monasterios is surrounded by a collective effort towards ineptitude everywhere)

his line today:

2.1 IP,6 H, 6 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 0 K

Andy LaRoche is playing with Bravos too,so:

3-0, 1 K

that's why you don't trade prospects ;) (just kidding)

Tigres de Aragua have shut down Bravos in 3 of 4 games this season, 2 shutouts in consecutive games.

On more Bravos notes, because it seems it's the team more Dodgers related right now, Belisario is burning the league (quemando la liga in our slang). He's been chosen as "Bravo of the week" in 2 weeks in a row.

His overall performance so far:

5 G, 5.1 IP, 5 H, 0 BB, 0 ER, 263 OBA, .26 OSLG

It's more remarkable because of the 5 games, 3 have been played in Margarita, a hitter's park.

Yesterday I was in the elevator with a co-worker, casually talking about the Dodgers' offseason. I said yeah, apparently there is some Cliff Lee "interest" but hey, i'm "interested" in Jessica Alba, too. Waited for him to react. A few seconds passed. Finally he got it. I thought it was a great gag (borrowed of course from yesterday's post) but this dude was stone faced.

On an unrelated note, I had the worst nightmare last night. I was at the stadium watching the Dodgers lose ineptly to the jints 4-1, and my dad (who died 11 years ago) was sitting next to me and said, "Man these guys suck." I just sighed and said, "Yeah, I know."

I was very resistant to facebook as well. My friends joined facebook for me when it first came out. They used my email address and said "here's your account and password. If you don't change your password, we'll keep putting weird crap about you on it."

Mr C, I have a facebook account and log in every 6 months or so. I got an email a couple of days ago saying I had 19 pending friend requests. No Roger Corwin, I don't want to be your friend. We weren't friends in high school before you moved away and we probably wont be now. I don't know why I am so hesitant to use it. Maybe I am old.
